What tune do you have now? CARB? You should be ok driving around town with it, just avoid any low rpm/high load (flooring it on the freeway, etc) or any red-line pulls. Basically, just avoid anything that can cause a lean condition.

I've done the same after installing my JDL headers, drove around with the CARB tune for a couple of weeks until I could get scheduled in with my local tuner. In the end, I couldn't get my schedule lined up with them because of work, so I ended up just going with DT.
